Valentine’s Day and Trains

Love has a history on trains – the mention of love in relation to trains may get you thinking in black and white, imagining glamorous 20s era strangers coyly catching each other’s eyes as they travel, or, failing that, Audrey Tautou in a Chanel ad – but today Chiltern Railways are encouraging people to chat each other up on the far more ordinary standard commuter train. Apparently, according to the Warwick Courier article about this, people from the Midlands are the least likely to speak with strangers on a train.

I’d be delighted to hear from anyone who manages to successfully get a date after meeting a stranger on a train today, particularly if you’re from the Midlands – you can tweet me at @sophontrack
